Not all masterpieces are born from peace; some are forged in pain.

Not all masterpieces are born from peace; some are forged in pain.

Throughout history, many renowned composers created their most brilliant works while living in poverty, relying on patronage, or struggling financially for most of their lives.

Take Franz Schubert (1797–1828), for example. He laboured in obscurity, often depending on friends for food and shelter. Despite producing over 1,500 works, he was rarely paid fairly and died at just 31.

Today, people get carried away with ideas like "good atmosphere," "peace of mind," and "harmonious surroundings" as necessities for creativity. But history tells a different story. It is struggle, suppression, crisis, and even ridicule that have pushed ordinary people to become extraordinary.

Yes, there are those with better security, lifestyle, and access to information—yet they feel no burning desire to create. Not everyone is naturally creative, but trying to be creative is never a crime.

If you live a cozy life and feel even a small spark of creativity, fan it. Increase your desire. Try something. Fail. Fall. Get ridiculed. But never stop your journey. Like travellers who learn more from the journey than the destination, you will grow into a greater learner. And that learning will shape your thoughts, paving the way for your own future masterpiece.

If you are struggling in life and blame your hardship for a lack of creativity, go back and read the first two paragraphs again. You already have your answer. A masterpiece is waiting to be born from your pain.

Every human being is a masterpiece. It is desire, action, and grit that bring the masterpiece out of the masterpiece.

Listen, Understand and Respond

Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
